Gas Line Requirements

!

The gas line must be installed in accordance with all local codes, if any; if not, follow ANSI 223.1
and the requirements listed below.

!

The fireplace and gas control valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig. For pressures under 1/2 psig,
isolate the gas supply piping by closing the manual shutoff valve.

!

Leak test all gas line joints and the gas control valve prior to and after starting the fireplace.

Fuel

¥

This heater is designed for natural gas but can be converted to propane (see page 38). Check the
sticker on the top of the gas control valve to make sure the correct fuel is used.

Gas Line Connection

Natural Gas

7" W.C. (1.74 kPA)

Propane

11" W.C. (2.73 kPA)

¥

If the pressure is not sufficient, make sure the piping used is large enough, the supply regulator is
adequately adjusted, and the total gas load for the residence does not exceed the amount supplied.

¥

The supply regulator (the regulator that attaches directly to the residence inlet or to the propane tank)
should supply gas at the suggested input pressure listed above. Contact the local gas supplier if the
regulator is at an improper pressure.
